From Award Shows to Basketball Games, Caucasians Keep Shouting the N-Word The obsession with uttering the one word that should never be said is peak white rage.

Another Black person had the N-word shouted at him.

Happy Black History Month. (Insert sarcasm.)

From yesterday

A few days ago, we found out it happened at a HS basketball game in Michigan.

Before that, an awards show in London.

I wrote about how white folks keep yelling the N-Word at Black people — during Black History Month.

“Brown has become a reminder of just how powerful sports can be when athletes use their platforms for change. Ironically, this is taking place when it has felt like the “athlete activist” had gone extinct.”

They shut down his event for no reason.

Lied about why.

Then “apologized.”

I wrote about how law enforcement has overreached during this administration, and why Jaylen Brown has to hold their feet to the fire.

“Duke is never the underdog!” - Quinn Cook

Jesse Jackson’s Death Highlights the Absurdity of Stephen A. Smith’s Political Aspirations Jackson’s presidential campaigns paved the way for Obama. A Smith campaign would encourage more incompetence.

TV personality Stephen A. Smith has floated a presidential run.

His ambition isn’t disqualifying — but when the motivation is rooted in self-promotion and personal gain, we have to question it.
